    WT Speelplaats: Cosmic Mental Therapy (in the Realm of the Necessary Decision)

    Project by: Werkplaats Typografie

    Designer: Noah Venezia

    Pages: 256

    Format: 110 x 170 mm mm

    Price: € 13,00

    There was an empty room in the back of the Werkplaats Typografie. One day, that void has been pushed out of the two doors. In 2012 eighteen people had to find that space somewhere else. During six separate excursions, throughout Arnhem and the Netherlands, they explored the potentialities of the destruction and construction of new lands. They searched for the room that they had lost, or for the conditions and materials with which to rebuild it, and in doing so began to expand the walls of the school along a whole new set of trajectories and possibilities. Cosmic Mental Therapy is a guide for escape from sovereignty and a manual for creating new trajectories.
    It consists of a collection of texts that were gathered through Year 12 and Year 13 WT participants. Contributions from Stefano Faoro, Ine Meganck, Corina Neuenschwander, Mark Simmonds, Rutger de Vries, Noah Venezia and Manuel Zenner.

    What happens behind this wall, stays behind this wall

    Project by: Dutch Art Institute

    Designer: Rutger de Vries

    Format: 170 x 240 mm mm

    Price: € 7,00

    This publication starts in 2011 in Beirut’s Sassin Square, close to the Green Line, where some of the most severe fights of the civil war took place. In the backyard of one of the area’s buildings I discovered a piece of graffiti that read: “Behind this wall in 1988…nothing happened”. Within the context of Lebanon’s history and Jalal Toufic’s lecture on surpassing the disaster of war, this sentence cast a poetic spell over the unspeakable. What happens behind the wall tells the story of meeting its author, Phat. In so doing the book touches upon the general interpretation of historical events and our own expectations, while reflecting on ways of codifying memories and building individual historical narrations, leaving the reader with no easy answers.

    Willem Sandberg. Portrait of an Artist

    Project by: Ank Leeuw Marcar, Valiz, Amsterdam, Werkplaats Typografie

    Designer: Rutger de Vries

    Pages: 327

    Format: 151 x 210 mm mm

    Price: € 20,00

    The famous Dutch typographer and museum curator Willem Sandberg is portrayed by art historian Ank Leeuw Marcar through interviews compiled more than 30 years ago. Particularly focusing on the period from 1945-1970, during which Sandberg was quite active and passionate in both typographic forms and as director of Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum, this thoroughly edited reprint of the original book closely examines his legacy and influence, its cultural aspects and roles of art historians and curators. His approaches to these topics remain relevant and challenging even today, offering new impulse in the discourse surrounding art and its place in an historic perspective.
